RUSSIA IS NOT happy with the latest election campaign ad from White House hopeful Donald Trump.
The Republican frontrunner in the US presidential nomination race shared the ad on social media yesterday.
It features Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton barking like a dog, and implies she is not capable of dealing with America’s “toughest opponents” Russian President Vladimir Putin and Islamic State.
It also shows clips of Putin tackling an opponent in judo and laughing at Clinton.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Russian government is unhappy with the video.
He said “we regard it negatively” and complained that “the demonisation of Russia and everything connected to Russia is, unfortunately, an obligatory part of an American election campaign”.
Peskov added that he was unsure if Putin has seen the video.
Putin and Trump have complimented each other publicly in recent months.

I hope the Gardai are closer to charging someone. This investigation went very quiet so hopefully that means they’ve pieced the puzzle together and now have the evidence to get justice.
As this is an ongoing investigation I think disabling comments on this article might be best. As great as it is that progress seem to be happening there just might be a chance of a few things being said that hinders this progress. Just a suggestion
Totally agree. Zero consistency with the journals closed comments policy
@Shane Mc Quillan: ya get sick of reading advice about closing the comment section all the time.. If you don’t want to read them, don’t read them!
@steovani: way to miss the point there chief.
So commenting on Paddy Jackson and his move to France isn’t ok – but for a murder case it is?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
@The IMF are here: I presume that is because there is still such venomous comments being written about a person found not guilty. For several weeks after the trial ended the hashtag was still about rape trial
@The IMF are here: will u ever f### off
@The IMF are here: get a life move on
Why, oh why can you not refer to the boy by his first name in this- and other sad tragedies. He is Cameron.
Horrendous crime – hopefully proper justice is served.
Why refer to the victim as a boy or teenager and the person bein questioned a man, when they are both the same age.
@Chris Kirk: The boy murdered was 13. The man who killed him was 18.
@Escay: not he wasn’t. Cameron Reilly was 18 when he was murdered.
